Good Morning ________ Public School Teachers!!!!!

My first few years teaching in my district we had a ton of snow days! I grew up in a school district that NEVER called off...on fact, I bet I could count the number of snow days I remember on one hand. When we moved to KC, apparently the winters changed...because we have had 4-8 snow days a year! This year is a different story...no snow days until TODAY! I was up super early probably because I was anxiously wondering and lo and behold I saw on Facebook we had the day off! Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about finding out via FB or text that we have a snow day, but it is nothing compared to my first few few years when we used to get an automated phone call message from our superintendant saying in the most cheerful voice...."Gooooooooood morning _________ public school teachers, due to inclement weather, slick roads etc there will be no school today!!". It was the best. Now due to budget cuts, text messages are the norm, but I will always remember those calls as some of the best memories of my first years of teaching. I really do love my job and people sometimes think I don't because I love snow days and summer so much, but those are just one of the many perks of teaching!! Here's to a day of watching House Hunters, making delicious soup, maps, reading Game of Thrones and hanging with my husband who left work early to hang out with me!

Now...just a two and a half day week and 1 conference night left before a 4 day weekend!

Hope you enjoyed a pretty look at the snow and a cozy night watching KU crush the Wildcats too!

Love,
The Messamores
